New York – Part 3

Some images from Wall Street and environs. The New York Stock Exchange building has a classical pediment with its own listing on the Smithsonian art inventories catalog.  Trinity Church is beautiful, with an unexpected gem of a churchyard. The story of the Trinity Root is quite interesting. The people having their pictures taken with Charging Bull are more compelling than the sculpture itself.

(Side note: I’ve made a resolution to stop using the word “amazing” in my writing. It’s proven to be rather difficult for my NY blog posts.)

New York – Part I

 Manhattan Skyline - before stormView from the balcony of the apartment where we are staying – Saturday before the storm.

Minor detour from regularly scheduled activities – a visit to New York. Although Hurricane Irene unfortunately did major damage in other areas, the area of Brooklyn & Manhattan near us were relatively unscathed. These photos were taken Sunday afternoon, after the storm had passed. This is DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass).
